FOREWORD 

S UCCESSFUL men in all lines of endeavor will admit, in most cases, that they 
have attained their positions by applying knowledge gained from the study and 
reading of books bearing directly and indirectly on their particular work and 
interests. In this way, they will tell you, it is possible to obtain in a few years , prac¬ 
tical knowledge that would otherwise require a lifetime of experience. 

Admitting the necessity of study and reading to achieve success and to keep up 
with the rapidly moving business procession, the question arises: “ Which of the 

many books published are the most reliable, authoritative and practical for study or 
reference? ” 

It was with this question before us that we listed and described in the following 
pages some of the Best Books about printing and the allied trades, to facilitate the 
selection of books that will help, instruct and interest the printer and his employees in 
their efforts to perfect themselves in their particular lines, and to enable them to get 
a more comprehensive and practical knowledge of the trade in all its branches. 

We do not claim to include all of the books or even all the good books on the 
subjects; it would be almost impossible to do so. We do, however, give a repre¬ 
sentative list — any or all of which will prove valuable to the apprentice in learning 
the trade, to the journeyman in preparing himself for better employment and remu¬ 
neration, and to the employer for advanced ideas and methods. 

This catalogue is, without doubt, the most complete of its kind, and we hope that 
every one who gets a copy will appreciate the effort and expense connected with its 
compilation and manufacture, and will put it on file for future reference if not for 
immediate use. We will be glad to send a copy to any one professing interest either 
directly or through a friend or fellow workman. 

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 

The size and number of pages is given in every case, and all books are bound in cloth unless 
otherwise specified. 

We do not make a practice of sending books on approval, and purchases are not subject to 
return or exchange unless found imperfect or damaged, in which case we should be notified 
immediately on receipt. 

Remittance (postal or express order preferred) should accompany orders from individuals not 
having charge accounts. 

When books are to be sent by mail or express, the delivery charges as shown in each case should 
accompany the remittance. 

THIS SERVICE WILL BE FOUND INVALUABLE, ESPECIALLY 
TO THOSE LIVING REMOTE FROM BOOK CENTERS 

Aside from the books listed in this catalogue and many others about Printing and the allied 
trades, we can supply practically every book published in other branches of literature. 

Our connection with the publishers of “The Dial,” the leading literary journal of America, 
enables us to keep in close touch with the activities of the publishing world, and we will welcome 
an opportunity to advise you or suggest the best to be had in books of Fiction, History, Biog¬ 
raphy, Travel, Stories for Children, etc., etc. 

“ Books of the Month,” an attractive pamphlet giving accurate and honest description of all 
the new books on the above subjects, will be sent each month free to any address. In placing an 
order with us, you may be sure that our service will be as good and our prices as low as can be 
had anywhere.

LOCKWOOD’S DIRECTORY OF THE 
PAPER AND STATIONERY 
TRADES 

This standard work is printed each year in Septem¬ 
ber and each new edition is thoroughly revised and 
brought up-to-date. The forty-first edition is now 
ready, and the complete, accurate information it con¬ 
tains makes it a valuable printers’ reference-book. 
750 pages. Size, 6x9. Price, $3.00. Postage, 20 
cents extra. 



BUILDING AND ADVERTISING A 
PRINTING BUSINESS 

By H. H. STALKER. This book treats of methods 
of improving the quality of output and turnover, and 
gives suggestive advertisements for printers. It will 
prove a source of inspiration and practical worth to 
every one who reads it. 60 pages. Size, 5 x 714 . Price, 
$1.00. Postage, 5 cents extra. 

AMSTUTZ OPTICAL MICROMETER 

A folding pocket magnifier which makes the one one- 
thousandth part of an inch just as easily recognizable 
as the one one-hundredth part of an inch on an 
ordinary steel rule is to the unaided eye. It magni¬ 
fies thirteen diameters, and is made more rigid than 
the well-known French linen provers that have been 
in use for many years. These usually have a square 
one-quarter-inch hole in the stage. The printer using so 
many engravings needs such a glass to determine their 
lines per inch, etc. Thicknesses of paper, cardboard, 
etc., can be measured. The exact amount color or 
tint plates are out of register is at once settled with¬ 
out dispute, thus the present element of guessing is 
done away with once and for all. Linotype operators 
will find the Optical Micrometer both practicable and 
of scientific interest. Artists can definitely make pen- 
drawings with lines of known width to properly stand 
reduction, thus insuring greater uniformity in their 
finished results, and gradually educating every one to 
think of engravings in terms of relative tonal values. 
14 inch opening, price, $3.00. J 4 inch opening, price, 
$5.00. Postage, 10 cents extra. 


THE LANGSETH RAPID TYPE 
ESTIMATOR 

A comprehensive chart showing the amount of space 
any number of words will occupy in any size type 
from 5 to 18 point (solid or leaded). Allowance is 
made for difference in width in those bodies by giv¬ 
ing two and three sizes for 5(4-point and 6-point. 
“If you know the number of words, you can tell at 
a glance the space they will fill in any size body 
type.” The chart is substantially bound, printed on 
enameled cloth and varnished. Price, $5.00. Post¬ 
age, 15 cents extra. 

THE PRINTERS’ GREEN BOOK 

This is a compact, handy volume, containing a classi¬ 
fied list of papers, giving the prices and names and 
addresses of jobbers who carry them in stock. The 
book is national in character, listing almost every 
paper jobber in the country. Over 1,100 water¬ 
marked bonds and linens, nearly 400 water-marked 
ledgers, about 700 water-marked flats as well as 400 
covers, and over 600 book papers have been listed, 
making the book a valuable desk companion for all 
printers and paper jobbers. Published annually. 
Size, 4x6. Price, $2.00. Postage, 10 cents extra. 

PRINTERS’ INSURANCE PROTEC¬ 
TIVE INVENTORY SYSTEM 

By CHARLES S. BROWN. This system has been 
in use in large and small plants for seventeen years, 
and its simplicity and efficiency have been demon¬ 
strated many times by actual test and years of service. 
It is accepted by Fire Insurance Companies as abso¬ 
lute proof and a basis for settlement. It saves the 
expense of appraisers and time lost in disputes which 
always arise if the assured is not prepared to show 
what his plant value was before a fire. This system 
will also tell you instantly — the worth of your plant 
— the source of all purchases — what insurance to 
carry — what your investment is. It will renovate 
your plant and disclose enough old worn-out ma¬ 
terials, ready to be sold, to more than pay for itself. 
It is classified, perpetual, and informs you of your 
plant value every hour of the day, every day of the 
year. Blank book. — pages. Size, 11^x15. No. 1,

IMPOSITION

COLOR 


COLOR NOTATION 

By A. H. MUNSELL. This book explains the char¬ 
acteristics of color in an understandable way. The 
author does not call on the spectrum or colored lights 
to prove his theory, but deals with every-day pig¬ 
ments so that the artist, engraver and printer can 
understand his definitions of color and duplicate his 
demonstrations in studio or shop. All color, he 
states, has three qualities which he defines as: Hue, 
Value and Chroma. Using the Century Dictionary 
definitions of these terms — Hue is the name of a 
color, as red, yellow, green, blue or purple. Value is 
the light of a color, that is the term which tells the 
amount of white or black there is in it. Chroma is 
the strength of a color, the term used to distinguish 
a strong from a weak color. Illustrated. 113 pages.

number of the names of foreign authors, artists, etc. 
that are often mispronounced. Revised and enlarged 
edition. 292 pages. Sice, 5x7. Price, $1.25. Post¬ 
age, 10 cents extra. 


PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT FOR PRINTER t6i 

If reference numbers are used for footnotes, these should 
be continuous on the page, but not continuous throughout 
the chapter This practice will permit of later insertions 
of additional footnotes, without expense for renumbering 
the entire series. Numbering of footnotes is preferable 
to the use of asterisks or other s> mbols 

If the author’s name is given in the text in connection 
with a reference to, or a quotation from, his work, 
it should not be repeated in the footnote 

This theory is questioned by Herbert, as follows ” I cannot 
admit,"' etc 

’ Laws of the Ancients I, 153 [Author's name is omitted.| 

It is better to place at the end of the quotation, rather 
than before it. the index figure or symbol which refers in 
the text to the footnote (see illustration above) 

The following should be the form of references in 
footnotes 

' C. R. Henderson, Industrial Insurance (ad ed., Chicago. 
The University of Chicago Press, 191a), p. jat, S I. Curtis, 
"The Place of Sacrifice." Biblical World, XXI (190a), 248 fl 

The order of the details should be: (x) author's name, 
followed by a comma, not a colon; (2) title (if of a book 
or periodical, underscored; if of an article, quoted), 
(3) number of edition, if desired, (4) place of publica¬ 
tion, followed by a colon; (5) name of publisher and date 
of publication; (6) reference to volume and page. In 
case the reference includes the volume number, it is 
better to omit the abbreviations “Vol.” and “p." as in 
the second example above (see chap v, sec. 13).

Every man associated\ directly or indirectly , with 
printing should read EVERY ISSUE. 

The Inland Printer 


This great Trade Journal is the acknowledged leader in the field, and 
has the greatest number (15,000) of constant readers because it contains 
more pages of valuable and interesting reading-matter, more representative 
advertisements, and more helpful departments of concentrated practical, 
useful information about each branch of the trade. 

THE INLAND Printer is not a show book of extreme or exceptional 
productions in graphic arts. It furnishes news, comments, and technical 
discussion of educational value to employer and employee, helpful to men 
who are doing every-day work and an aid to the craft as a whole. Its plans 
are systematic and based on sound and proved economical principles. Its 
policy is one of continuous advancement. 


EMPLOYERS 

find The Inland Printer of great prac¬ 
tical value in their every-day work. It 
keeps them well informed of the most 
modern ideas, and almost every issue con¬ 
tains one or more articles on phases of 
business management and workroom effi¬ 
ciency that are worth many times the price 
of a subscription. 

The generous array of specimens of com¬ 
mercial work, and hundreds of answers to 
questions from perplexed workers, which 
clear up difficulties and stimulate thought 
among craftsmen the world over are other 
features of value and interest to the 
employer. 

The Inland Printer has contributed 
largely to the success of many flourishing 
firms who do not hesitate to acknowledge 
their indebtedness. 

From a typographic and artistic standpoint, I do not 
see how The Inland Printer can be improved; and as 
to the mass of information which it contains, I do not see 
how any up-to-date printer can be without it.— John 
Nolty, President of the Evening Post Job Printing Office, 
New York. 

COMPOSITORS 

are offered a fund of helpful hints every 
month in The Inland Printer. In each 
number considerable space is devoted to the 
discussion, in simple, easy-to-understand 
language, of good and bad typography. 
These articles are graphically illustrated 
with many examples. 

Each issue also contains an eight-page 
two-color insert in which a great many 
specimens of all kinds of jobwork are 
shown. These inserts constitute a con¬ 


tinually growing library devised and con¬ 
structed for the purpose of providing 
subjects from which compositors may get 
hints and ideas that will increase their effi¬ 
ciency and make themselves more valuable 
to their employers. 

I have gained more practical knowledge of the business 
from its columns than from any office I have ever worked 
in.— Frank H. Lowe, Fort Smith, Ark. 

MACHINE OPERATORS 

consider The Inland Printer an absolute 
necessity in their work. No other pub¬ 
lication is the repository of so many re¬ 
quests to solve troubles, and nowhere else 
are the troubles solved so quickly and thor¬ 
oughly. While an operator may not be, or 
desire to be, a machinist, yet a knowledge 
of certain things about the machine will 
assist him greatly in his work. The latest 
inventions and attachments are first talked 
about in The Inland Printer. 

Each month I am able to get information from the 
machine department that always proves of valuable assist¬ 
ance. I remove this section of The Inland Printer each 
month, and have several years filed away, and I make 
frequent use of them.— A central New York machinist- 
operator. 

PHOTOENGRAVERS 

have in The Inland Printer the pioneer 
exploiter of their comparatively young in¬ 
dustry. Gamble, Benedict, and all the lead¬ 
ers acknowledge their indebtedness to the 
magazine and its processwork editor, Mr. 
S. H. Horgan. 

Some years ago I saw a little hint in the engraving 
department of The Inland Printer which has saved me 
much money and a great deal of trouble. As long as I 
can raise the price I shall be a subscriber of The Inland 
Printer. — E. W. Rush, Glen Gardner, N. J.

PRESSMEN 

find the Pressroom Department of The 
Inland Printer a never-ending source of 
reliable information. The to-the-point para¬ 
graphs must be authoritative -and dependa¬ 
ble, because they are quoted freely by the 
technical press of this and other countries. 
In addition to the articles that develop 
from our work in solving real pressroom 
problems, there are informing discussions 
on color and other subjects of interest to 
every progressive pressman. 

I think it is the best journal for the trade on the market 
to-day. It certainly was an educator for me, for when I 
started out two years ago as a cylinder pressman I made 
good, and had the remark made to me, “ How did you 
ever learn so much about the business, and you so young? 
We have men here for a long time who are barely getting 
along.” It was The Inland Printer that I owe my suc¬ 
cess to, for I studied it; and I dearly loved to work at 
the good end of the trade, always looking for the best 
quality of work.— Frank J. Nestor, Providence, R. I. 

NEWSPAPER WORK 

is the name of the department which covers 
features that are useful to publishers and 
managers. New features are suggested 
and criticized, methods of procuring sub¬ 
scriptions are discussed, suggestions made 
as to how ads. and make-up may be im¬ 
proved, and all other phases of newspaper 
work are presented in an informing though 
concise way. 

We can’t keep house without The Inland Printer. 
Editors, “ comps.” and the “ devil ” all read it, and some 
one in one or the other departments gets a pointer from 
almost any issue that is worth more than the subscription 
price to them, and to us as proprietors. Keep ’er a-comin’. 
—Opelika Daily News, Opelika, Ala. 

BOOKBINDERS 

are not forgotten, as an excellent depart¬ 
ment is devoted to their interests. It is in 
all respects equal in standard to that of 
other departments. From time to time there 
are special articles devoted to this industry, 
and The Inland Printer is the recognized 
American medium for bookbindery knowl¬ 
edge. Our answering-question service is of 
particular value to printers who do bindery 
work on a small scale. 

I am an all-around bookbinder and find a great deal 
in your journal that interests me, for it contains great 
meat for any bookbinder and printer to digest.— Jacob 
Lots, Norfolk, Neb. 

ADVERTISING MEN 

find in Tpie Inland Printer what they 
can not find in the volumes of matter writ¬ 


ten especially for their benefit. Proper 
display and arrangement of type is a great 
factor in the “ pulling power ” of an adver¬ 
tisement, and that subject receives its high¬ 
est exposition in the pages of The Inland 
Printer. 

Newspaper and magazine advertisements, 
booklets, pamphlets — the whole range of 
advertising literature — are reproduced and 
discussed, showing why this is right and 
that is wrong. There is no place where so 
much can be learned about the mechanical 
end of ad.-making as in The Inland 
Printer. 

From the standpoint of the organizer, the practical 
printer and the art man, your publication leaves little to 
be desired, and we hope that our grandchildren will 
extract as much pleasure and profit from it in the future 
as we have in the past.—/. F. Fenner, Advertising Man¬ 
ager, A. M. Collins Manufacturing Company, Philadelphia, 
Pa. 

PROOFREADERS 

find in Horace Teall’s articles and answers 
to the questions of perplexed compositors 
and readers a never-ending stream of infor¬ 
mation. It is the one consistent and con¬ 
tinuous department maintained for the use 
of proofreaders. Charles G. Low, the well- 
known writer for the trade press, says: 

“ I have learned many things from The Inland 
Printer, not the least of them being under the 
caption, ‘Whims and Fallacies,’ by Horace Teall.” 

APPRENTICES 

are quick to learn that each issue of The 
Inland Printer contains something of 
particular interest to the youth who is 
starting on his career. 

This is the quality that causes so many 
printers to say that more than half of what 
they know about the trade they learned 
from this magazine. 

It is money in the employer’s pocket 
to have his apprentice interested in The 
Inland Printer. The boy or man who is 
so interested is much more useful to himself 
and others than he would be otherwise. 

It conducts practical contests in which 
apprentices show their work, and the boys 
are encouraged to write direct to our ex¬ 
perts about their troubles. 

Your apprentice department in The Inland Printer is 
certainly worthy of all praise, and so very, very in¬ 
structive, as I find it.— Jos. M. Cassady, Spokane, Wash.
